Episode 538
Strong self-respect (6)
“Hahaha! “You said that?”
“Is that so funny?”
“Man, I have no such thing as a recluse. “I have been dealing with the world alone without any alumni.”
“I think I understand. “Why is your personality so dull?”
“Dark? “There is no one more generous than me!”
Even though someone had arrived, the two people were laughing and clinking their glasses.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression suddenly became shocked.
‘No matter if they’re strong in Seongcheon or something, they’re just the same old guys when they’re drunk.’
Both of them have achieved so high a level that they only appear to be middle-aged. Yang Cheon was already over sixty years old, and Mak Won was also well over fifty.
Isn’t it a really strange feeling to see older people giggling with dull faces?
“uh! “Is Deputy Yeon here?”
Yang Chen waved his hand.
“Come and have a drink, too. “Oh, but there are no snacks?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“There is no need for snacks.”
“As expected, I like youth.”
Yang Cheon asked, filling a new glass with alcohol.
“How was it? “What about first?”
Yeon Ho-jeong emptied his glass and laughed.
“Rumors travel really fast.”
“Hey man, I don’t know where this is, but? “All sensitive information comes to my ears.”
“But I didn’t expect it to be this fast.”
“So what did he say to you? “I have a rough guess.”
“He asked me to stand on his side?”
Yang Chen frowned.
“You really said that?”
“yes.”
“Pathetic guy. Even if you grit your teeth and train hard during that time, you’re just playing politics. And that too to a dispatcher from the Murim Alliance? “The house is running well.”
“Others may not know, but you shouldn’t say things like that.”
“why me?”
“Aren’t you the Vice Master who managed his disciples like that?”
“I’ve never managed anything?”
“I couldn’t manage the indifference. “No matter what, it’s all the vice-master’s fault that the disciples are like that.”
Yang Chen grinned.
“Well, he is like that too.”
Makwon was inwardly surprised.
‘It must be quite a sensitive topic.’
It is so easy to criticize your students for being incompetent and say that you are the reason for their incompetence.
What was more surprising was Yangcheon’s reaction. Looking at his expression and voice, it seemed like he was not offended at all by Yeon Ho-jeong’s words.
‘Are you saying this is the path you chose yourself?’
No matter how much it was, I felt like I would feel bad if it were me.
‘It’s definitely not an ordinary bowl.’
Whether it was his unique personality or his great courage, it was clear that Yang Cheon was not an ordinary person.
“Stop talking about the boring stuff.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Mak Won.
“I heard you had something else to say to me?”
Mo Yuan looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen cleared his throat and filled the cups for both of them.
“Adjutant Yeon.”
“Please speak, my lord.”
“Do you know that this person’s body has been pickled in poison?”
“I know. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s been pickled.”
“It was being handled properly. “But I still haven’t found a way to get rid of it.”
“okay.”
“I’ll ask you straight. Do you know what kind of poison is in the body of your junior soldier?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I do not know.”
“is it?”
Makwon’s expression as he looked at Yangcheon became strange.
Yang Chen ignored Mo Yuan’s gaze.
“I don’t know, but it could be deciphered, right?”
“Any poison can be detoxified if you find a way. Even if the members of the Mukryongbu stick to it, it will be deciphered, right?”
“I already got a checkup. Of course, they said it wasn’t an ordinary poison. “I’m handling it well because I’m a junior in the military. They say it’s the most deadly poison of all poisons that even a supreme expert can’t withstand for five days.”
“It would have to be that much of a poison to poison the world’s hundreds of evil spirits.”
“I guess so.”
Yeon Ho-jeong emptied his glass again and spoke.

“I don’t know what kind of poison it is, but I can tell the type of poison that the Three Churches sprayed.”
“As expected.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Mak Won.
“Are you upset?”
If you had decided to use words other than that and tried to decipher the poison, you might have figured out how to decipher it by now.
But Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t do that. It was because Makwon did not bring out everything he had.
In that case, there is no need to do everything you can. It may be trivial and petty, but at the center of this relationship is war. Of course, I had no choice but to go out.
Of course, that assumed that Makwon had the ability to withstand the poison. If Makwon’s condition had been critical, Yeonhojeong would have also gone out of his way to find a way to detoxify it.
Makwon asked in a calm tone.
“Were you planning on waiting?”
“That’s right.”
“I see.”
“Of course, I don’t have much time, so I couldn’t just wait. “I was planning on making a hint when my patience reached its limit.”
“It’s not a very good picture.”
“Isn’t that why the Vice Lord came forward because he knew that?”
Yang Cheon burst out laughing.
“I’m also very good at noticing things like that.”
“I’m trying to be polite.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked comfortably.
“So have you made up your mind now?”
Makwon smiled.
“You mean to tell me the story about my asceticism and my execution?”
“That’s right.”
“The decision has been made. But before that, I want to ask you something.”
“I’m keeping my ears open.”
“If by any chance my brother-in-law is going astray in your opinion, do you plan to kill him then?”
“I’m not sure what kind of road this is.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he poured alcohol into Yang Cheon’s glass.
“If he takes the side that harms the Central Plains in this war, we will kill him by any means necessary.”
“….”
“They will probably assassinate him before the war begins in earnest. “That way, your back will be comfortable.”
It was an honest answer.
On the contrary, upon hearing those words, Yang Cheon made a stinging expression. I wondered if there was any need to give such an honest answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong read Yang Cheon’s expression.
“Senior Makwon is ready to open his heart and speak his truth. “If that’s the case, then I, too, should risk my life and reveal my truth.”
“…Who said what? Anyway, he’s handsome.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who silenced Yang Cheon with a few words, asked Mak Won again.
“How about you, senior? “If we have to kill him, will you stop us?”
“That kind of situation will come…”
Makwon closed his eyes for a moment.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed to sink. When I thought about the topic of conversation, it was even more strange that it didn’t become heavy.
After some time, Makwon opened his eyes.
“My shrine is in Liaodong. It’s located in a place where no one knows. “It was like that back then.”
“You’re saying it’s different now.”
“Every time the clan lord changes, the clan’s residence also changes. “In the first place, we don’t build a foundation like the powerful martial arts sect.”
“What kind of sect is this?”
“Mujongmun.”
At that moment, Yangcheon and Yeonhojeong’s eyes widened.
Makwon laughed bitterly.
“It seems like you both have heard of it.”
“…You just heard about it?”
Yangcheon looked at Yeonhojeong with a sullen face.
“This fraudster even tricked me into taking the position of head of the Mujongmun?”
“yes?”
Makwon looked at Yeonhojeong with a puzzled expression.
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
“Well… something like that happened.”
“Something like that?”
“I once tried to rob the Inkryongbu. “The identity he presented at that time was that of the great brother of Mujongmun.”
Yang Chen tilted his head.
“Were you the ambassador?”
“I guess so? To be honest, I don’t remember much right now.”
“It’s worth it. Tuwang’s name isn’t as great as you think, right? “It’s easy to forget little things.”
“Are you upset?”
“You’re so noisy, you idiot!”
Although they were grumbling, both Yangcheon and Yeonhojeong were very surprised on the inside.
Mujongmun. It is truly a legendary sect.
Some say it was built over a hundred years ago, while others say it was built hundreds of years ago.
What is important is that Mujongmun was a group formed by the best experts from various fields.
Other than that, there is no information. In fact, even in the black island, which is said to be more than a hundred islands in terms of information, I did not know anything about the residence of the Mujongmun or the martial arts or mungyu used by its members.
Therefore, when Yeon Ho-jeong came to Mukryongbu as Sejak, he borrowed the name of Mujongmun.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong and his group all had different skills in martial arts. Even if they try to hide their martial arts skills, you can tell that each person has learned a completely different martial arts skill just by their temperament and gait.
Even though they are the same monk, there are not many cases where people learn martial arts with such different temperaments.
That was the reason why the name Mujongmun worked so well.
But here is a real descendant of the Mujongmun.
“I see. “Well, I don’t know the exact circumstances.”
Makwon nodded.
“That’s right. “I and my brother-in-law, the person who Wulin calls King Chang, are all descendants of Mujongmun.”
Yang Chen’s face became serious.
‘It’s called Mujongmun.’
Isn’t this a really great sect?
Even the six major factions of the Baekdo political faction, one faction of the nine factions, failed to properly produce a strong player from Seongcheon. The political faction groups that held power in Seongcheon were Shaolin, the shaman Namgung, and the Tang family.
However, Mujongmun had two names listed on the Seongcheon Thirteenth Place without any external activity.
How on earth did this faction come into existence? He has such incredible potential that he has produced two of the best players in the midfield.
“Tell me in detail. “About Mujongmun and your execution.”
The conversation continued for over an hour.
Perhaps because it was the first time in a while that they talked about the past, Makwon said he was tired and left. It seemed like he had a lot to think about.
In the end, only two people, Yang Cheon and Yeon Ho-jeong, remained in Daejeon Mukryongwon.
“What do you think?”
“What do you mean?”
“So Hyeon-rip.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“First of all… I have to see the manna.”
“okay?”
Yeon Ho-jeong also had a lot of thoughts. Yangcheon was no different.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“First of all, get some rest today. “Just to organize my thoughts.”
“okay. “Let’s do that.”
“I’ll go first.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his back.
At that time, Yang Chen raised his glass and said.
“I am confident that I will not cross the line.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped walking and looked back at Yang Cheon.
Yang Cheon emptied his glass and continued speaking.
“You are a good person. I don’t think you’ll cross any lines while staying here. “Unless it’s something serious.”
“What do you want to say?”
“Secondly, did you think that Baekdo would not be provoked after the war?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“The older one made a fool of himself first, but there was no need to tell the second one about it.”
Yang Cheon smiled and looked at Yeon Ho Jeong.
His eyes were not smiling.
“I like the second one. “Under the current circumstances, the second one has the highest probability of becoming my successor.”
“….”
“But when you become my successor, it will be very different from what you think now.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
“People can always change.”
“Of course it is.”
“I’m going. See you tomorrow.”
“Rest in peace.”
That’s how Yeon Ho-jeong left Daejeon.
Yang Chen’s face, holding the glass, was as cold and chilly as ice.
“It’s the difference between ambition and belief….”
